[♛ FreemeGB] Fireflies PL47 Gen II 4*XP-L/ Nichia/ SST20 Hi CRI 21700 Right Angle Flashlight - ENDED

I hope they all don’t look like that.

Jack, whomever is doing final assembly needs a swift kick in the public area. This is what happens from rushing products to market. Please slow down, you’re about to become the latest train wreck that almost was a big success. Move too fast and you run off the tracks. Buyer confidence is dropping; many people are not touching the E07 now despite the great design, including me. You can keep feeding the alligator but it’s not sustainable and rebuilding your reputation is harder than just slowing down now and regrouping. You may go from hero to zero if we see this kind of thing with the E07, and I have to expect we will.

PS sorry for the cruddy metaphors. I hope you take heed.

Nicely said nokoff.

Now if you can get Jack to say that :slight_smile:

Been just over 5 days since FireFlies logged in. Perhaps Freeme can shed some light on concerns and lack of communication.

good luck with that!!

lol now that would be good…we have not heard from him in 6days when we report issues!

Has Anyone also noticed that the clip is difficult to hook on a pocket? Because the clip ends just before the tailcap. So the tailcap covers the clip kind of, takes a bit of fiddling to hook it on… I suck at explaining things in english… sry
So i find it rather difficult…

have the same issue regarding the optics

Album — Postimages big pics.

They have pits/dig marks in and looks like a pin is snapped too…

Just few pics of mine next to my other EDC’s it performs well without any problems, fun and pratical for me :+1:




That sure was a lot for such a simple question.
I was looking for “I have not received mine yet as well.”
What’s going on Tom Tom? Bad day?
Best wishes buddy, hope things get better for you. I have prayed for you already.

When I unscrew the battery tube a little to lock out the light a very brief and tiny red flash occurs from something near the centre of the lens. Can anyone explain this phenomenon?

My order is with yours. I received this notice:

from USPS

Red aux LEDS indicate a low battery on all FireFlies models. ToyKeeper could explain it better but basically They blip as you cut power. If you hold turning the tube or tailcap at the point where the torch barely gets any current, just before lockout, the red may actually stay on because it’s reading low current. I should say voltage, not current. The red aux indicate low battery voltage. That’s all, it’s a good design.

I also ordered the E07 from Neal with red aux LEDs. Interestingly, red is not an option when ordering directly from FireFlies. Is it an exclusive for Neal’s site?

On Nov 19 I got a notice saying: Your item was picked up by a shipping partner at 10:07 pm on November 18, 2018 in FREMONT, CA 94538. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date.

Nothing since. I ordered SST-20 also, if that has anything to do with it.

My Gray E07 ordered from Neal hasn’t shipped yet. I expected when I placed the order that Neal would not be getting a shipment of units from FireFlies until after they’ve shipped out the first batch of their own orders.

Mine is on the way. I ordered the Nichia 219B version. I have a Samsung 50E 21700 but reading back through this thread, it doesn’t seem to fit well. Does anyone have a recommendation on a 21700 battery to use in it that’s suitable for the 219B.

Many thanks for the illuminating replies- I am always impressed with the breadth of knowledge available here.

My PL47, not ordered through this group buy, showed that it landed in Denver Colorado, then went to Chicago, and now it’s off the grid again with no guesstimate as to when it should be here. But hey, it’s active anyway! lol

I tried using the Sofirn 4000mAh 21700 (this came with the Sofirn C8F 21700 bundled kit, as Sofirn cannot ship bare batteries to my country) on my Fireflies PL47 and they fit, although it’s a relatively tight fit…
